I don't think you were! pututxline() uses the ut_id field as a key into
the utmpx file, so if it's not set I don't see how the system can know
where to put the entry. Maybe some OSs look at the ut_line entry. With
the current code, HPUX puts all the pty entries in the same place...

This is from Linux's utmp manpage:

	char ut_id[4];              /* init id or abbrev. ttyname */

I think it only matters about inittab stuff when the ut_type field is
something other than USER_PROCESS or DEAD_PROCESS, the only ones ssh
uses. AFAIK.
